On Anti-Futurism

An early entry in the Diary of Anne Frank describes a boy named Harry who had dated Fanny until he met Anne. He says, "with Fanny I was daydreaming, but with you I am wide awake." This is a nice undermining of the dream. Or a reading of this statement as anti-futurist, in that every moment spent with Anne was more important than the possibility of what could be with Fanny.

Cinnamontality - The painting of every moment as beautiful and whole. "Everything's all cinnamon and sage." Like vicodin on a summer's day. Like wearing Blu-Blockers in East L.A. Not the overpowering force of feelings and emotions, but just a prioritization.

We make the moment whole, when we're completely in it, otherwise, it gets pushed toward the future. Not a deferment, but a casting off, something to chase.
